Call for Interest: AIAS THRIVE and CRIT Live Hosts

CRIT Live: AIAS Research Symposia

We are looking for one school to host CRIT Live. The AIAS Chapters would work in tandem with their school to provide a location for approximately 75-150 attendees for the day-long programming and networking reception that evening. The National Office would engage with the local chapter to finalize theming, programming, speakers, and logistics.

THRIVE: A Career Prep Program

The AIAS is looking for one AIAS Chapter to work with firms to host THRIVE: AIAS Career Prep Program. The AIAS Chapter would work with a local firm to host a day of programming that is devoted to career preparation. The host firm would not be required to produce all of the programming, as outside speakers may be brought in from other firms in the area. The AIAS Chapters are encouraged to work with their local AIA component to bring engaged and informative speakers.

The financial burden on the host school for either event is fairly minimal, while hopefully the benefits are significant. We at the AIAS national office take care of most of the logistics, planning, and marketing, with input from the host chapter. Our primary request for CRIT Live is a lecture hall space over the course of a Saturday in October or November, while the request for THRIVE is a firm host over the course of a Saturday in October/November or February as well.
